One of the things I've wanted to see is an accurate crew numbering. The last time I looked the Type II u-boat has the same 47 crew as the Type VII, when they should have 25-28 depending on the model.

Also, I know it's not part of Fifi's plan, but I've always hated the lack of modding SH4 has received compared to SH3. I drives me crazy that the Kiel Canal still looks like a big river - no locks, no working gates, pretty much no towns or anything else. Now that some people are starting to look at SH4 again I would love to see some of those details.

I totally agree with what you’ve said
I wish i had better skills in modding, my limitations drives me mad sometimes
I often spend a whole day trying something, while a talented modder would do it in roughly an hour...

I have absolutely no idea how to import towns, villages, houses or even trees in SH4 from let say SH3 for instance.
I don’t even know what files are implied on that.
10Gb of files to look at, are quite huge

EXACTLY!!!



your comments are very weird in that i have been PM-ing with s7rikeback and propbeanie on this very subject for a while. i guess i created a disturbance in the force...and for that i am truly sorry.

for example, look at the Type 2B.
compartment 1 is the engine room. the boat asks for 3 leaders and 3 crew. in crewmembers.upc there are 13 engine room crew...CPO, enlisted, and non-rated. when you create a boat, six crew are assigned. how are the six of thirteen chosen?
here is a trickier one. compartment 2 is the command area. the boat asks for 3 leaders and 6 crew. crewmembers.upc has 12 command crew to choose from. when you create a boat only six positions are filled leaving three unfilled. what is up with that? how/why are only six of twelve chosen and why leave three billets unfilled?
i've been pondering these issues for a while now...not only on the ATO/OpM side but also the fleet boat side.
